Abstract

This article considers the determinants of conflict in Africa. It revisits the greed versus grievance debate to consider the specific regional context and changing nature of conflict in Africa. This is a literature that has grown rapidly in economics and political science, but some recent developments in modeling and conceptualization are providing important new contributions. The article uses the zero-inflated ordered probit technique that deals with the problem of excess zeros in datasets, revisits the definition of conflict, and improves upon some proxy measures. It also considers the substantive as well as statistical significance of the variables. Changes in the technique used provide more support for the influence of grievance terms than given credit for with the usual probit model approach. Both greed and grievance determine conflict in Africa.

非洲冲突的决定因素
本文讨论了非洲冲突的决定因素。它重新审视了贪婪与不满的辩论,以考虑非洲冲突的具体区域背景和不断变化的性质。这是一篇在经济学和政治学中迅速发展的文献,但建模和概念化方面的一些最新进展正在提供重要的新贡献。本文使用零膨胀有序probit技术来处理数据集中的过零问题,重新审视冲突的定义,并改进了一些代理度量。它还考虑了变量的实质意义和统计意义。所用技术的变化为申诉条款的影响提供了比通常的probit模型方法更多的支持。贪婪和不满决定了非洲的冲突。
